Just don't sing "Danny Boy"!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gaJm8nvvVc


Note--since my latest promotion to "Navy Dude" from "Medic" I now have a much cooler hat. But the total effect of my new look causes me concern that I may have suddenly become a homosexual (not that there's anything wrong with that for those who are, but until recently--I was not). And why do I have this urge to sing Bohemian Rhapsody?

[nodlew]

Funny, Goat. What movie was that?

With Reaper's permission I am making public a small optics mod that I have made for his UI. The intent of this mod is to downplay the background images and make the optical lenses the only visual focus. This has been done, in the case of the periscopes, by blurring the background images. The binoculars have been replaced with a new image, and I have used Arclight's UZO from his MRP 1.3 mod for the TBT image. It comes with a readme that includes install instructions (JSGME). Make sure you install Reaper's latest patches. Two versions of the mod are included in the download--one with Reaper's RAOBF markings, and one with mine. My RAOBF tutorial pdf is included.

"Can't Stop the Music", the fictionalized, musical biopic of The Village People. Let's put it this way: watching this movie is only slightly less horrifying than witnessing a war atrocity. :DL

In the interest of preventing a thread hijack, I just wanna say it's amazing how much you guys have acomplished since SH5's release. Looks like I'm gonna have to a re-install soon. :salute:

I don't want to highjack this thread either, and with my well-intentioned efforts to get the RAOBF working for myself and others, I'm afraid I have come close to doing so. Reaper is doubtlessly working away at his latest improvements and will make a triumphal return with either a new version or a patch when he is done.

I am happy with the way his UI is working for me now, so I am on the verge of falling silent.

There have been a number of downloads of the various files I have made for the mod, and as yet I have received no feedback whatsoever. No news is presumably good news, but I would like to know one thing: has anyone else found my RAOBF markings file to work for them, or, conversely, not to work for them?

Thank you, Sasha. Glad to hear it.:D I hope you are using the latest version--the first one I made was a little Goofy. In fact, I'm going to remove the two early version from Mediafire and Filefront.

[SashaKA001]

How to get rid of it, when loading every time be off, but it had enough already! or how not?

Hi, I want to use Church´s Key Commands along with Ui 2.0 but it says the commands.cfg has been altered. I tried to install Key Commands first. What should I do?

[SteelViking]

Hey Reaper, you have not posted in a while. Is everything ok?

[eagleFMJ]

Really awesome mod, I like it alot. I have a question though;

I use churchs keyboard commands http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=163444&highlight=commands layout since he released it, I do not like the stock layout an I am really used to it now, is there a way I can merge his commands into this mod? Commands.cfg is conflicting.

Thanks for any help.

[reaper7]

Hey Reaper, you have not posted in a while. Is everything ok?

Hi SteelViking, have had no broadband connection for the last 2 weeks :wah:. Broadband company say that the exchange is being upgraded.
I appear to have a connection today again but its very slow and falls out every so often.

On top of all this I've being unable to Mod SH5 due to the DRM issue, why you need a connection to access the Menu Editor is beyond me.

Anyway I'm able to access it again now and shall resume work on the mod.
I'll try to get the Night masks finished up and release a new version. :DL

Sorry for the delay on getting a new version out, but its great to be back online. :salute:

Yes just add whatever new entries I made in my commands.cfg to his commands.cfg and install his mod over mine. :up:
Ignore any conflict warning, that will get them working together. :)

Ok using winmerge here I think I got it, still toying around tho.

[reaper7]

Just an update to keep ye in the loop, since my Broadband Disconnection :damn:.


I finally got internet access again yesterday, and have been working on the Nighmask user activation since yesterday.
I have got it working the way I want, and have also redone the method that some of the backgrounds switch to night time on button press.
What this means when you enter an optic screen the nightmask wont be visible for that split second like it was in previous versions. :up:

I was going to package this up and release as is, but I've decide to make a fix for the AOB and Speed reset to 0 stock bug when setting the Range via stadimeter.
It will be a fix similar to my stadimeter fix, so will include a button for both the Speed and AOB Dials in the TDC to send the current values to the Temp Dials (These are the ones that are set to 0).
This way when the values imputed at the TDC can be sent to Temp Dials and therfore not reset to 0. ;)

All going well I should have this finished tomorrow evening. :arrgh!:

[schnorchel]

Hi Reaper, seems the stopwatch can not be staredt and stopped at will. Can we have this functional?:salute:

[reaper7]

Hi Reaper, seems the stopwatch can not be staredt and stopped at will. Can we have this functional?:salute:

Hi schnorchel, I guess your mixing the clock up with the stopwatch.
Press O to access the stopwatch. I may make a button for that one.

Update on next version: Having trouble implementing a reset to zero fix May upload the latest version without it and release as a patch if I get working.

Hi very nice mod! Thank you for your work ! :yeah:

Got the same situation on the map, looks like the borders are out of screen?
Also i can't minimize the TDC on the upper left and can't access the officers module.

No other UI Mods installed, what i'm doing wrong? :06:

BTW: i saw a tutorial for the attack disc months ago, can't find it. Can someone give me a link to a document oder better a tutorial video? Thanks ;)

Hi if you have a mod NewUIs with TDC for SH5 by TheDarkWraith version 4.5.2 is the textbook lies in the documentation folder, at NewUIs_TDC_4_5_2_TheDarkWraith\NewUIs_TDC_4_5_2_By TheDarkWraith\MODS\NewUIs_TDC_4_5_2_ByTheDarkWrait h\Documentation\Attack_Disc_Handbook.pdf, and about the video is not that sure of it.

[Kretschmer the IV]

thank you :88)

[Kretschmer the IV]

Still got the issue with the TDC on the upper left. The first icon on the bottom, on the right sight has no function. I can't hide the TDC. When activating the U JAGD Chronometer and disable it, the icon for TDC and TDC disappear.. :wah:

Any ideas?

Ideas in the development process:yeah:, all that:wah:.

[dasschwein]

Hi there, sorry for bad english.
Same bug here. I solved it (at least on my pc) by pressing 2 times " O " button ( the timer button) on observation periscope. Press it the first time, and clock appears and then press it a second time , and disappear both, timer and tdc.
To activate tdc again just exit periscope and then enter it again.
Doesn't work on attack periscope directly, but you must enter on obs periscope first, press o 2 times and then it will works for attack periscope too.

[nodlew]

Been playing a new game (old game, actually, Steel Fury, but it's new to me and it's the best WWII tank sim I've ever played)...so I've been scarce. Just wanted to say finally that I love your UI Reaper, and when I play SH5, it's the interface I use. Whatever bugs remain are negligible. I love the ablitity to turn the Red Light on at will--fixes a long standing problem. Thanks for the mod.
Thanks for all your hard work. You vastly improved the game for me.

[Kretschmer the IV]

okay, maybe im stupid - i dont know.
Tried to install the "Das Boot Icons" Mod over the HiDef directly.
Result: The whole crew section is not available anymore, the icon on the upper right vanished. :06:

[reaper7]

Been having a bit of a nightmare trying to track down some of the bugs, hence why there been to update for a while.
I've fixed a few and introduced a few in the meantime :damn:.

Hopefully I'll get something out soon :).

[Venatore]

reaper7,

Take your time matey, good things come to those who wait :timeout: good luck in the problem solving :yep:

[reaper7]

I've had no luck trying to rectify the send to stadimeter bug introduced into version 2.1. It has me completly stumped - no matter what I do it keeps occuring :nope:.

At this stage I think the only way I can go forward is to go back to version 2.0 and redo all that I had done for V2.1 and refix the remaining bugs.
I have wasted to much time trying to get that one bug fixed (That should not be broken in the first place) so fustrating.

Well here goes rolling back to V2.0 and starting over :dead:.

[FIREWALL]

Only one word.... WOW !!! :salute:

[reaper7]

^^^ Thanks Firewall :up:.

Well it wasn't as bad as I expected rolling back and redoing the work. Much faster the second time around :D.

Stadimeter in now working properly agian.
Now onto the remaining bugs. :O:

Hello again,

No should work everywhere regardless of station. Sounds like a bad install.
V2.1 has a few bad bugs though (Ie the stadimeter fix was broken), I have sorted this out and am currently fixing the cordinates in the navigation map. Hopefully I can get a fully working version out soon :D.

Hi,

Pls check the screenshots



The part marked as D is missing.



Yes Part D has been ommited, this is due to the changes the Devs made from SH4 onwards.
In SH3 it was possible to mask parts of the graphic overlays to make them non-clickable to the other overlays.
What this meant is you could have the inner layer draggable for say part A, then the centre layer draggable for part B, then the outer layer draggable for part C etc.
Unfortunatly since SH4 and now SH5 this method no longer works, masks have no effect so once you drag 1 layer all layers are dragged together.
The only way to implement the attack disc is to assign the layers as dials:-

This way one layer is assigned to the Beraing dial - rotated by scope
one layer is assigned to compass - rotated by current direction
and we can only have one user rotated bearing - the last overlay.

So the last part has to be ommited as its impossible drag via the mouse.
I will look into making it user rotated via scripting at some point.
If I can figure that out I will reintroduce that layer. :03:

Just to confirm, have you switched the TDC to Manual via the Recognition Manual.
RAOBF will not work if TDC is in Auto Mode.

But will double ckeck it my side, just in case the dials.cfg has an error in it. :up:

Hmmmm, not sure what can be causing this. All those buttons control all the items that are placed offscreen, by snaping them to origin (eg X = 0).
So no matter what resolution you play at it should snap the item to that point.

For Example the Left TDC Panel is located of screen at Co-ordinates:
X = -1000, Y = 0.
And the snap move the item to:
X = 0, Y = 0 [Top Left Corner].

All the above buttons act in this manner, so as to why nothing shows up onscreen that is a puzzle.

Can you try lowering your playing resolution to say 1440*900 and see if this works. If not then something else is causing the issue ie Mod Soup :O:.

Hope this helps. Is anyone else having the above issues. It works on my PC at all the resolutions I can use. SO I have no way to try it at 2560*1600. :up:

It works on the lower resolutions. 1920x1080 was the highest I could get it to work. It seems to have a problem when moving to aspect 4:3 or 8:5 at high res but I did not test them all.

And wouldn't ya know it 1920*1080 is the higest resolution I can test it on :-?. Not sure what to do as no way to test it :hmmm:. I'll relook at the offsets, see if I can figure an alternative method to do it.

The top two dials on both panels are only for use with Fat/Lut type Torpedoes.
Dials will not function till you select one of these type Torpedoes. :up:


Also that version of the Mod in your screenshot looks like its from V1.0 of the mod.
I recommend you to download the leatest version V2.2.

I just took a screenshot, and I'm using the latest version V2.2:rock::rock::rock:

[S1LK]

And wouldn't ya know it 1920*1080 is the higest resolution I can test it on :-?. Not sure what to do as no way to test it :hmmm:. I'll relook at the offsets, see if I can figure an alternative method to do it.


I was able to resolve it somewhat. I went thru the files and just set the TDC and top menu to default on. They appear that way. Just not using the buttons. I wonder if it is an issue with the buttons instead. Either way I am happy I can use it now.

[Tarnsman]

Love this mod.

Im thinking of adding the Mighty Fine Crew mod, is it compatible with Ui-Boat?
Can it be installed afterward or before or at all?

[robbythesub]

Think I will go back to this mod again as i liked it originally very much but could not resolve the obs periscope issue.

Quick question, do we just install v2.2 or is it 1.0, then 2.1 then 2.2?

Thanks :up:

[Olzeen]

only the last version......i.e. ui.2.2....previous versions delete...:ping:

[java`s revenge]

Wow, i will download and install this mod. It`s marvelous :yeah:

Glad you got it working :yeah:. Will look into reversing the method I use to offset. So instead of having them offscreen via the menu editor. I'll see how having them onscrren and snapping them ofscreen on loading works better. :03:

Love this mod.

Can't see any issues in using that Mod with mine. I was using V1.2 of it during early development of my Mod, and don't think I use any of the same files it uses.

Just V2.2 Is needed. That Obs issue should be no more :DL.

I know, I just cant get it to work on my machine. Still got only red lights when i am on periscope screen only and when i am on the map screen all is red. Also tried other resolutions but still didnt work so i went back to HighDef patches.

[Illyustrator]

reaper7, you plan assemblage Mega-Moda on the basis of your interface?!

[robbythesub]

This 2.2 mod works superb for me so thanks R7.

The obs periscope problem is now resolved too.

Looking forward to your mega mod if it comes!

Hi Guys justy got a message that shows a bug I was sure was fixed
Here is the message

Hello Reaper7,

i really love your UI-Boat V2.2 mod. Simple, very realistic.

I have a little problem with periscopes. During the attack a "Lagewinkel" suddently disappears:

http://s3.postimage.org/k3xkewas/SH5_Img_2010_12_04_18_38_38.jpg (http://postimage.org/image/k3xkewas/)


It is a possible bug or it is just my problem.

Josef

Just wish to know if this is happening for everyone - Previous it has an issue with screen resolution.
In order for the bearing ring not to show thru (Its hardcoded to be always on top) the Torpedo firing Panel. I have to script it to snap off-screen.
But if playing at high resolutions the panel did not cover the bearing dial as it did in lower resolution and hence why it appeared to dissapear.

Now since re-doing the Interface to scale rather than be fixed resolution. The Torpedo panel should scale to cover the bearing dial.

Is this not the case?
Can people report what resolution they are playing at.
At that resolution does the Torpedo Panel cover the Bearing Dial.
Thanks guys. Hopefully with your feedback I can fix this.It may be an issue that I used the Incorrect scalling method for the Torpedo Panel.

[Sepp von Ch.]

The same thing happens by me (I am the autor of that message below) with UZO... And it does not happen always , just sometimes.

[FurphyForum]

Hi Reaper7
In answer to your Q's, I too experience the same as Josef :yep:
I'm running at 1440 x 900 resolutions and the Torpedo Panel does not cover the Bearing Dial

[Sepp von Ch.]

It is possible to fix it?

[supposedtobeworking]

any chance of getting a video tutorial on how to use the scope tools (i.e. AOB wheel, etc.) in this version of the UI for SH5? Also, am I to understand that ui-boat 2.2 replaces the hidef realistic interface mod?

Howdy,

Gotta love this mod, especially the crew list huzzah!

Sadly my lighting doesn't work aside from any hud items, such as the watch, for me. Wondering if there is a fix or something I just didn't do right?

I'm fully patched, and everything else is working. Tried using the light button with only Ui-Boat V2.2 installed and it did not work. Redownloaded it but to no avail.

Thanks for the help ahead of time!

[supposedtobeworking]

I'm still having a problem with the recognition manual. I lock a target in the scope or uzo and when I pull up the rec manual, I can only scroll through American warships, but I marked what is clearly a British merchant of some sort. Am I missing a button to press or something? Also, is there anyway to make it so that the weapons officer identifies the target for me in manual TDC mode so I can avoid flipping through the thing myself?

there is not that such a target is required, but you can assign a keyboard shortcut here \Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Cfg\commands.cfg

Name=WP_Identify_target

[SteelViking]

Hey Reaper7,

I know you are busy with RL issues, same as I have been. But, I found some stuff that could use some touch ups in this mod.

http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/5816/42404642.jpg

In this picture, I have pointed out what I have found. Here they are:
1. The torpedo speed selector switch is being ripped apart, most likely a problem in the .ini files.

2. Auto scaling problem for the torpedo selector panel.

3. Sub control dials covering up TDC panel selector buttons.

These are not game killing errors, and they may very well be isolated to the resolution I am running the game at. I just thought I would bring them to your attention. I could probably fix them myself, but I am trying to make some headway in my own mods, so sadly, I don't have the time.

Otherwise, great job with the newest version of the UI.

Cheers comrade :salute:

Edit: Problem 1 went away and I have not been able to reproduce it. Maybe some minor error in the .ini or .py files for the periscopes. I will check that. Also, I realized that the bearing indicator is gone from the scopes(you can see that from the picture).

[supposedtobeworking]

there is not that such a target is required, but you can assign a keyboard shortcut here \Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Cfg\commands.cfg

Thanks I'll give that a try, but there is already a button in the interface to have the officer identify the target, and when I click it, nothing happens except an acknowledgement of the order in the text box. I still don't understand why the rec manual won't display any ships except American warships either-whether I issue the identify target order or lock the target myself. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong if anything-shouldn't be this counter-intuitive to identify a target-maybe there's a glitch in my mod installation?

Also one more question-is this mod okay to use for a 16:9 widescreen resolution? or do I need a patch?

Is that on the little brown tab?

Whenever I open that book all it says is turn TDC on?
If you click yes the numbers method of aiming no longer appears and you cant get them back without re-booting the game! I couldn't find any sign of a recognition manual anywhere!!

Hi Guys, I'm finally back to some degree.
Its been a hectic few months, have been involved in finishing my home build. Our builder did the dirt on us and abandoned on us leaving us a un-finished home and 20K euro out of pocket.)
We have finally moved in - done all the 2nd fix and wiring myself (Gardens are unfinised but they will have to wait till down the road. Currently wiring up the home network, Just got the wireless working (On my laptop wireless at the moment :D).
Once I have the fixed network in, i'll get my PC's unboxed and I'll be able to resume my Ui-Boat mod (Don't worry its not abandoned - just was on hold :03:).

I'll need to catch up on the scene here for SH5, so I'm not trying to re-invent the wheel again :haha:.
I plan to go-over the thread and see what bugs are reported and fix those first. Then I need to finish that manual I was working on. :up:

Anyways its good to be back, and I hope this has not been to much of an inconvienence to those members using my UI.

Thanks Guys. :yeah:

REAPER7: Great to have you back reaper7! I know what you mean. I also performed the reconstruction of a new house, job, child care...
But in the Silent Hunter find I calm and relaxation.


I love the minimalist control of the U-Boat in this mod.
This your UI mod is one of the best, with a really great atmosphere of german WWII U-Boats!
Missing only a few mistakes and correction, separate buttons for opening and closing of the torpedo tubes, and ... radio messages...(I know, I know, it's just a dream ...) and this mod is for me perfect!

Gonna get to work on those issues as soon as I can get my network up and running, all my work is on my main PC (still boxed up).
In the meantime I see there has been some work done on the RAOBF issue's that prevented me going any further with those.
Now they seem to be sorted regarding proper ship stats, Its time to get my AutoCad out and start working on the RAOBF dials :D.
I can get them done on my laptop with Autocad and Photoshop - so I'll have something to do in the meantime ;).

Hi Reaper

You should get in touch with ToniloCoyote:yep:
He has measured all the ships and has made a floating ruler. This allows easy and very accurate measuring of any part of the ship.
This could be used in your RM for funnel height etc.

Just starting work on a remake of the excellent RAOBF tool that has been used throughtout Mods in SH3/4.

It will be based of the Original ww1 uboat raobf as seen here:

http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af168/reaper7_SH5/RAOBF-Original.jpg

I shall use the same markings as the original for now and see how they work ingame. If not fisiable I shall return to the current markings as used on the RAOBf thats currenly in the mod.

I've stated on the metal dials for the RAOBF and this is the progress so far (Just the beginings :DL). Text and Numbering to do, then the small details like tabs and holders etc.

i think my english is bad i did not express my self properly.

I know ucan get depth under keel of your boat by the officer pad.However what i meant is on a target if you do not Use manual TDC the Reconition manual will only display US ships and keep coming bakc up and its all bugy.

And if you use the other Manual that says Turn on TDC sir? then u get to ID the ship it gives u the mast hieght and Keel dept of the target like how low in the water the belly of the target ship is...You cannot get that info with out turning on TDC and then if you turn TDC on to get the info i cant seam to turn TDC back off as to have an auto solution computed and set my torpeedo depth i dont know if i have explaind my self prperly but let me know if you dont understand what i mean english is not what i normally speak and im trying hard to get understood.

Thanks for trying to understand me in this endevor.

Sorry I understand now. I removed Auto TDC from my Mod as I was going for 100% Realism. This I may turn back on for those that wish to play using auto mod (Guess there's no harm playing with auto mode. I'll fix this for the next release). ;)

[Dermeister]

YEa and i dont mind how it is now like u can still click at the top on the green periscope that liek will automaticly fidn a solution right so auto is still there its cool liek its a good blend like for those who want 100% real and those who like a lil help to aim i love your 2.2 right now i love it the only thing missing for me is a accessable Reconition manual even with out turning on TDC and like you jusy point the periscope hit the lil periscope icon to the top right it enters a solution then ucan fiddle with it for the torpeedo dept i love how you made it.

All im sayign is a Reconition manual that can be accessed with out truning on Manual TDC would be icing on the cake :) keep up the good work i love your UI boat mod :)

No problem guys. I had worked out how to get the sh4 recon manual working while working on the stadimeter mod before.
I had it 90 working but since deleted it :oops: from my Hard drive as it was no longer needed.
I will se about redoing it again as a user recognition manual. No harm in having both types.

Especially whether it is manual you can still pull. And let them see which one has all the original "old" touch of German naval submarine!;) e.g. your periscopes are excellent

Can I browse the ships in your new manual, even though I did not focus any ship? It would be nice.

[Illyustrator]

Мaestro, I asked earlier, to increase "Tablet" with "icons" of officers (together with them).
At such reduction strong "distortion" of portraits turns out.:hmmm:
If it for you "is not critical".:)

I hope u keep the Lil yelow periscop at the top right side that whne upoint to a target and click on the periscope Icon on the top right it automaticly plots a fiering solution :)

FANTASTIC work at these graphics, Reaper !!thats it ! :up:
very very good job....it looks like professional work ....you are really getting better and better !

but ...i think you must wide (at least make it ...double) the inner ring becuase you must also add the angle's marks (otherwise you must link the inner ring directly to stadimeter as it was ,propably,in real life ...have you managed to do this?)

Thanks Makman, I have some ideas on getting it to work with the stadimeter - have yet to test. Hopefully I'll get something to work, if not the markings can easily be redone. :up:

[reaper7]

Finished all the small details and spelling errors :oops:.
Here we have the final product :woot: ready for converting into dds files :yeah:.

Cheers mate. Now to start work on some proper FOV scopes and Correctly scalled Scope Gracticules (No need for the RAOBF Graticules then) :up:.

[SteelViking]

Good lord Reaper!:D I like what I see, can't wait to use it in game.

[reaper7]

Good lord Reaper!:D I like what I see, can't wait to use it in game.


Thank you my friend, I'm glad you like it :D.

Started work on the obs and attack scope's with proper 38 degree FOV.
Thanks to makman94 for his permission to use hiv cam files for that fov :up:.
Going to go back to full screen black scopes as they seem to be what most people prefer.
The graticules are calibrated fro the RAOBF so the ticks on the Attack scopes are in mils while the obs are in degrees as the appeared to be in reallife from what I have found (Maybe 2 conflicting sources???).
Have some WIP versions here:

Removed Images Due to Incorrect scalling

Obs Scope: (Obs Markings are a quick mockup and are not at correct scalling)

http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af168/reaper7_SH5/Obs.jpg

looks appetizing:arrgh!::arrgh!::arrgh!:

[Dermeister]

Personally i prefer the current scopes in 2.2 maybe have the option in the install?

If not then hey those scopes look nice any how :) so cant complain either way but just thought id put it out there "most people prefer the black scopes"

not me :P!

[reaper7]

Ok after some expert advice on my previous attempts at getting proper scalled scopes into SH5.
I finally understand how it all works :D. So in that regard I'm restarting the scopes completly for proper 38 degree fov using the degree system instead of the mil system. (Stock sim is using degrees as is the uboat scope pics that I have seen - so I'll go with them as there authentic :yeah:).

I've gotten the Attack Scope graticles callibrated perfectly now :D and using the cam files from makman84 confirm these are working. My graticules for the Attack scope is a cross between the stock and Authentic ones, the reason for this is in-game the stock ones show up at 1.5 zoom but not at 6x zoom.
So my version completly blocks out the stock ones at 1.5 zoom and remains at 6x zoom.

Here is some WIP on the stock SH5 game, final will be centred with more scope housing detail. :up:


Attack Scope at 1.5x Zoom

Also have had some good success in my RAOBF testing and should have some good news on that front for the Manual Targeters, just need to get the measurments worked out before posting ;).

[reaper7]

How about this for a completed look :06:. Is the background RAOBF blurred enough or does it need more ?
When the RAOBF is selected it will cover the background version and then be useable. ;)

I think I'll leave as is, has just enough blurring and shading so as not to focus away from the image in the lens.
Then when the RAOBF is selected it shall be crisp and brighter ready for use, Pulling the focus to it, simulating if the eye was pulled away from the eyepiece to use the RAOBF. :yeah:

[Spy Guy]

Fantastic mod, I must say. It really adds to the whole experience, with the dials, buttons and everything (and the overlays are really useful).

However, how exactly does the Stadimeter fix work?

I gathered that you're supposed to align the bottom of the ghost image with the top of the mast on the boat you want to get the range from, and apparently UBI fuxed that up somehow, by making the actual values used by the game differ from what we see?

As far as I understood we're supposed to take the range from the top of the visible mast, then hit the "Send to TDC"-button and thus get the correct values.

However, when I tried it I got the correct reading from the Stadimeter (checked with the ruler), and then the "Send to TDC" added 2000 meters to that. Chances are I did something wrong (being entirely new to the SH series).

Another thing, when I send the data to the TDC it resets things like AOB and speed, is this intended behaviour?

Also, the RAOBF, does that work on other resolutions than 1080p? I recall there being some scaling issues. Was that fixed, or do I need to get the texture pack someone uploaded here?

Then, out of curiosity, what does RAOBF stand for? I googled it, but it led back to some tutorials here, which while informative, didn't answer my question.

Once again, fantastic mod, great work and all that.

When you enter the periscope click the periscope icon (Yellow) and it will turn (Green) to show its enabled.
Now click the stadimeter button, you get the ghost image - drag this down till the waterline of the ghost image is sitting on top of the highest mast position of the actual ship.
When you click your range in the TDC and XO dialog are updated (These are incorrect valuse due to the stock 20m bug).
Now here is where the fix comes in, click the (Green) periscope icon again. The eye piece will flash red to indicate TDC is being updated with correct value.
Also the range in the TDC and XO dialog are updated with the correct value. :up:

Unfortunatly this is a stock bug, which I haven't got around to fixing yet.

Also, the RAOBF, does that work on other resolutions than 1080p? I recall there being some scaling issues. Was that fixed, or do I need to get the texture pack someone uploaded here?

The RAOBF is currently not working properly, due to incorrect Graticule scalling - incorrect .cam fov's for the camera files and ship models have incorrect measurments (Stock bug)
These issues are just about resolved and will be fixed for the next release.

Then, out of curiosity, what does RAOBF stand for? I googled it, but it led back to some tutorials here, which while informative, didn't answer my question.

Super!!!:yeah:

[reaper7]

Started to pull all this togeter in game.

Now I've run into a problem - the current ui-boat mod is counterproductive to these correct scopes. This is due to the size and scalling used to create the scopes, dur to the siaze of the optics I can't get the proper FOV and degree scaling to get these working.

This leads me to 1 of 2 decisions:

A: Remove the current scopes and replace with these scopes.

or

B: Start a new UI Mod from scratch, Using the new scopes and RAOBF dials.

I'm leading towards B, the reason is I don't think the overall theme of my Current UI siats properly with these new scopes and RAOBF dials.
There is also too much clutter in the current UI that can be removed for a more realistic and more fulfilling experience.

A while back Magnum was proposing to create a Minimlistic User Interface, and I've been mulling this over and I'm starting to come around to his way of thinking.
These new scopes would lend themselves perfectly to that concept. :yep:

Also some of my experiments in creating the Ui-Boat mod would allow me to create a better working Ui then the current one.
For example:

Removal of The TAI Map (There is no need for this when we have the navigation map that can display the same features)
Removal of the XO Dialog, to be replaced with the SH3 ecognition type Manual - This would also solve the stock stadimet bug without the need for the stadimeter fix in the current UI. (The sent dats to TDC works properly in that manual)
Removal of all the TDC dials from the Attack and observation Scopes - To a Seperate page (These can be accesed from the scope - Switching the player form the scopes to a Full Panel TDC working Replica - and then switching back to the scopes when data in entered)
A fully working RAOBF unit using the authentic scales etc. Instead of having 2 sets of markings on the Inner - there would only be 1 set (Authentic) The 2nd set was for manualy alligning the Mast height with Graticlue ticks to get the range. I have had some success in getting the stadimeter to move in conjunction with the Inner dial to find the range. (This is not setup proper - but is working to a degree - just need to finetune to get it 100%)
What are your thoughts on this ?

[Sepp von Ch.]

B: Start a new UI Mod from scratch, Using the new scopes and RAOBF dials.

It means that you will not see these beautiful scopes and interface?:cry:

The new UI will be at least a similar to UI version 2.2? I really like on your this mod the "old" design of periscopes, UZO and binoculars and minimalistic User Interface.

All 4 points are absolutely perfect and I agree. TAI Map is redundant. Please maintenance the "draggable" manual - it is much better than any unrealistic automatic "pop-up" manual as in SHIII. Appearance of the manual as it is in the SHIII would be nice.
http://s3.postimage.org/yslrehok/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.jpg (http://postimage.org/image/yslrehok/)

Would be a better more realistic map of the routes of convoys. On the "SH5 conovys"-map contained in your UI mod v2.2 I could not read anything because of the resolution and colors and had to reach for the paper from my SH5-special edition-box. And radio messages? Will be part of your mod PLEASE?

My result: your new version will surely be a lot better than version 2.2. I vote for option B.http://s1.postimage.org/2aom6ww3o/AAAAAAA.jpg (http://postimage.org/image/2aom6ww3o/)

[Obelix]

Sometimes it is easier and more efficient to do something from scratch. I think that sdes such a case.

[SteelViking]

Reaper, just a friendly take on the situation:

You know I am a big fan of minimalistic UI's. Also as part of my physics courses, I have learned python code decently well. So all things considered, if I were in your position, I think I would go with option B.

Just my two cents mate.
Cheers
:salute:

[bart]

I'm no modder, I just love the work you guys do :salute:

But for me option B sounds the best. :up:

[reaper7]

I think a new UI is the best way forward too. :yep:
I'll fix the current UI as best possible with the new ship stats etc and try to get the scope graticules and raobf graticules calibrated correctly.
That should wrap up this UI as best possible. :up:

I removed the close buttons of those panels as they are opened and closed from the officer oders panel. ;)
When they are opened from the orders panel the icon would change to colour to show its active, but when it was closed from the panel itself it would not update the order icon back to b/w (Would stay colour) so I removed the close buttons from the panels for that reason.

I will look into making them draggable though.

[Obelix]

I removed the close buttons of those panels as they are opened and closed from the officer oders panel. ;)

However, as seen on screen, the panels are overlapping the officer oders panel and get to it does not work. Therefore, you should at least make it possible to draggable panels:up:.

Hi, reaper7.
If you are assured of it, then "Yes".:yep:
After the lapse of time, we learn about possibilities of this game more. Also we are, of course, afflicted when it is necessary to begin with zero. So in a life often happens. Good luck to you. We with Gratitude will wait your "Creation". And to assist in process of the possibilities...

Yes, no need to reinvent the wheel. These maps are perfect as is. And work perfectly with my UI :yep:.

[Schütze]

I am also a fan of your mod. And i would suggest you look at these options:

*Radio traffic
*Options for Real Navigation (sextant, Navigators celestial fix et.al).

That would close a already good circle.

[Sepp von Ch.]

Sorry for the impatience, reaper7, but I like very much your mod. Are there any news?;)

[reaper7]

Sorry for the impatience, reaper7, but I like very much your mod. Are there any news?;)

Progress is very slow, (Not much time these days to Mod :wah:) But I've decided to go with restarting a new UI from scratch :yep:.
This will be a minimilistic UI. So only whats needed at each station will be present.

Will prob start a new thread on this, but so far I've got the Scope graphics and graticules done. These are properly calibrated this time :up:.

Got the TAI stripped out of the game - took awhile to get out properly (A lot of CTD's :haha:) A side effect of this is that the plot course orders are now working (TAI was causing these to CTD when ordered in SH5 with TAI)

RAOBF is causing some problems getting it to rotate in conjunction with the Recognition Manuals Mast heights. (Being attempting to get this working for nearly a week now :nope: very fustrating).


Haven't got around to fix the current UI's bugs yet. Sorry :oops:.

[Sepp von Ch.]

No, no, do not apologize reaper7! I appreciate that you are doing on the new UI!;)

[reaper7]

Just some pics of WIP.

Main Interface has most items removed (TAI is completly stripped out via its code in PageDefaultMenu.py).
The XODialog will be removed also. Will give a nice clean Frontend - New Interface will have slide out glass panels with all revevant items for that page.

http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af168/reaper7_SH5/Interior.jpg


Glass Panels at Attack Scope (Blank so far :O:).

http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af168/reaper7_SH5/Glass-Scope.jpg

This will keep the whole Interface clean and allow focus on what counts.
The Panels will contain only whats relevant for the section thats in use etc. All items will be transparent (EG Dial backgrounds) so as not to take away from the main focus eg the scopes.

[mobucks]

oh man this is sweet

[Sepp von Ch.]

I'm curious about the outcome. Without your Ui-Boat V2.2 mod I can now not go into the Atlantic!

[reaper7]

I'm curious about the outcome. Without your Ui-Boat V2.2 mod I can now not go into the Atlantic!

No worries will finish the graticules scopes and RAOBF in Ui-Boat V2.2
This will give you a choise of 2 UI's :up:.

Just a WIP of the TDC Panel via the Periscope Screen.

http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af168/reaper7_SH5/Dials2.jpg

The dials are coloured and have transparency in keeping with the etched glass theme.
These should help with keeping focus on the scopes and not interfere with the critical needs of the captain - also will not take away from night use ;).

Are these ok for use, or do ye prefer full coloured dials ???

[pascal4541]

Nice version :yeah:
I like this

[Sepp von Ch.]

Are these ok for use, or do ye prefer full coloured dials ???

Definitely coloured Kriegsmarine dials with old (used) look please! I like this minimalist UI, transparent glass. Again with the great ability (as in Ui-Boat V2.2) to switch on the night - red - light.

These transparent dials looks too modern.

[Obelix]

These transparent dials looks too modern.

Okay. And now let us reflect on the essence of the game interface. In reality, the commander of the boat does not interact with devices and control systems, fire boats. The only instrument of fire control, with whom he had an affair - a periscope. All teams should vote. The commander worked with a periscope. Subordinate commander to transmit data for shooting and they interact with the device firing was injected into their data. In order to realize this game is difficult. Voice interfaces are not yet so perfect. So we may have to use graphical interface. The interface should allow quick and easy to transfer data to fire "subordinates." That is the role of subordinates in this case are the fire control devices. Imitating the voice command of a commander, we have to personally enter data into devices.
Which of this conclusion?
And the conclusion is this: In reality, the commander looked through the periscope at the target and transmit voice commands and data to subordinates. He saw nothing except the periscope eyepiece and objective. Hence the approach reaper7 can be called correct. There is no longer important - modern or not to look appliances. It is important that management should be easy to avoid being distracted from the goal to quickly and easily enter data into these same devices. Let me remind you - during the attack the commander did not see these devices, and thus was not distracted by them, he does not care how they look.
Compartments of boats and equipment in the compartments must look realistic and not modern. But whether that requirement is an interface? Of course we should strive to make it look not modern, in accordance with the realities of the time. But do not forget about the ease of operation and speed of access to the necessary instruments.
I hope I explained everything clear, accessible and will understand me correctly.

[Obelix]

Yes, Glass interface looks much too modern, but is there another way to get rid of clutter panel periscope devices shooting? reaper7 rights - the dashboard should not be intrusive and should not be distracting. Perhaps glass panel is really too modern and would fit better to control the nuclear submarine but I can not suggest any other alternative. If you have any suggestions on this score - to express their options.
PS The purpose of my post is not to criticize the post Josef von Posorschitz about his "displeasure" transparent interface, the more so to some extent I agree with his opinion.

Reaper,
Would it then be hard to knock up a version of both, utilizing screen captures just as a interim, in this way based on feed back given, this will then dictate the direction that you need to take for your UI mod. :hmmm:

[Zedi]

I think Im the only one who really consider all old UI obsolete, even annoying. Seems like the majority if the community will never get over on dials and all kinda flick-flaks filling the screen. More dials on screen, more joy.

Personally Im absolutely annoyed by this and I always hated the old SH UI's. But in SH3 those dials were the only way to control the ship and see whats going on. Now that we have a full 3d environment and we can use voice command, is really beyond my understanding why people are so mad about dials. Dunno about the rest, but when Im looking through the scope, I dont wanna see anything else than my target. Same as I would into a real scope.

I tried million times to setup a UI only for me where I only extend the SH5 UI and keep his minimalist flavor, but I failed miserably as I just cannot learn how to mod the UI. What I need on the scope UI is a slim and discrete panel that can be toggled and contain all the necessary stuff in a very minimalist way. I dont need a huge ugly dial to set up my target speed, or his range.. a simple SH5 style form will do his job just fine. Only the AOB should be visible.

For my pesonal taste, this is how it should look a scope, nice and clear with focus on my target, without brutalizing my view and eyes.

you should open a new thread for this nice interface-work!!!

:yeah:

[reaper7]

Hmmmm, a few choice's here then :hmmm:

Keep my exisiting UI and just update the UI scopes with my new correctly scalled ones with correct fov.
Go for a single panel type similar to Magnums concept.
Or do both maybe? Time permiting.

[Zedi]

I think is maybe better to finish one job before starting another. Just my two cents.

[Sepp von Ch.]

Hmmmm, a few choice's here then :hmmm:

Keep my exisiting UI and just update the UI scopes with my new correctly scalled ones with correct fov.
Go for a single panel type similar to Magnums concept.
Or do both maybe? Time permiting.



Existing UI and just update the UI scopes with my new correctly scalled ones with correct fov.

Yup, think that may be the best approach at this stage :yep:.

Not sure how to do radiomessages, anyone that knows how is open to implementing them :up:.

[Sepp von Ch.]

TDW would not let you use his radiomessages mod? It is finished. He even translated into German. Stormfly make for this mod actually the sounds ...

[Sepp von Ch.]

And it would be possible to incorporate in your great UI mod the need to open and close of torpedotubes as in real life?

[Bilge_Rat]

I think Im the only one who really consider all old UI obsolete, even annoying. Seems like the majority if the community will never get over on dials and all kinda flick-flaks filling the screen. More dials on screen, more joy.

Personally Im absolutely annoyed by this and I always hated the old SH UI's. But in SH3 those dials were the only way to control the ship and see whats going on. Now that we have a full 3d environment and we can use voice command, is really beyond my understanding why people are so mad about dials. Dunno about the rest, but when Im looking through the scope, I dont wanna see anything else than my target. Same as I would into a real scope.

I tried million times to setup a UI only for me where I only extend the SH5 UI and keep his minimalist flavor, but I failed miserably as I just cannot learn how to mod the UI. What I need on the scope UI is a slim and discrete panel that can be toggled and contain all the necessary stuff in a very minimalist way. I dont need a huge ugly dial to set up my target speed, or his range.. a simple SH5 style form will do his job just fine. Only the AOB should be visible.

For my pesonal taste, this is how it should look a scope, nice and clear with focus on my target, without brutalizing my view and eyes.

totally agree with you. I like the look and feel of the stock SH5 interface, especially having the scope offset to the right, so I can open the TAI map on the left. All of the "new" UI mods with the scope in the middle waste the screen space on the right. Your idea looks very promising.

personally, my ideal UI would be the stock SH5 one with only the following addons:

1. officer icons to give orders, as in Reaper's mod;
2. a way to open some/all torpedo doors as in TDW's mod;
3. a way to control torpedo salvo to control how many tubes are fired/spread angles.

[Zedi]

...

2. a way to open some/all torpedo doors as in TDW's mod;
3. a way to control torpedo salvo to control how many tubes are fired/spread angles.

Actually this is implemented in stock, but it happens too fast. When you click on a torpedo tube on the UI, the door opens. If you activate the Salvo button, you can control how many tubes will get open. Problem is that this happens way to fast and is no animation for. When I click on a tube, thats should blink for a while in red and color in green when its done. Not sure how hard is to fix this.

Good to know. I just saw all 4 lights lighting up and figured I had no other choice. I will test it out.

Anyway, I really like your UI idea. Unfortunately, I have no modding skills whatsoever. :ping:

[reaper7]

3. a way to control torpedo salvo to control how many tubes are fired/spread angles.

This is already Implemented in my Mod :up:, There is a salvo switch on the Torpedo Firing Panel:

Switch this from Single to Salvo.
Then under each torpedo light you can click the switch to enable/disable that tube for firing.
Click fire, and each tube fire's one after another ;).

Hello, I must admit that I really like your UI Boat. Good work.. It's simple and looks great. :up:

I have few questions:

1. It'd be great to improve the textures on the TDC panel for all those who like to use manual targeting and all those nice knobs and switches.. I know you're working on the transparent style, we're all looking forward to.

2. Is it possible to enable the attack disk at least in UZO? It would really be a benefit for surface attacks. I guess this wouldn't be too hard.

3. I have some problems in attack scope when using the stop watch the buttons for both TDC panels disappear and I can't enable them. I have to exit the scope (ESC) and then go back. Any idea?

I'm gonna scrap the Transparent Ui for now and finish working on V2.3 of this Ui :up:.

I've fixed a good few bugs that have been reported including the dissappearing TDC when using the stopwatch. :DL

I've got the new scopes in and calibrated :up: for use with the RAOBF.
I'm also working on redoing the Ship ID's in the rec manual.
Thanks to the info provided by toniloCoyote :yeah:.

Here's a look at the new .sil file:

http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af168/reaper7_SH5/Ship-ID.jpg

Going for a complete black silhouette look with all the relevant info required for the manual targeters. (The stock images look to much like 3d models). ;)

And here it is in game (RAOBF will not be the releaed version, just in use for calibration).

http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af168/reaper7_SH5/RAOBF2-1.jpg

This'd be great.

Does anyone know how or where to get more precise bearing indicator?

I've done one by myself for SHIII way back... it worked fine, but I don't know if it would work in SH5..

Hi chris, Do you mean the red light stays on all the time?
Can you confirm are all objects in redlight mode and not just the scopes:
e.g the RAOBF, TCD Panels, Clocks etc.
Also does the night light switch enable/disable nightlight mode?

The next release will be ready soon and will have new scopes.

Hi hitman, yup have a copy of that. But due to the limitation of Rec Manual only able to display one ship at a time I'm limited to the current method of manual.

Currently converting all images to solid black, this will bring it as close as I can get to a more relastic Manual.
Wil look into doing a line drawing version possibly to match them in pics above.

I know mate, I just wanted to highlight that the silhouettes are not matt black in any of the books, but instead are completely drawn side views of the ships. The only solid black silhouettes I have seen were in a page from the Weyer's book, used to point out certain peculiarities of some units, circled in red.

Hmmm, You've given me an idea........
Are all the current Sh5 ships in that manual. If so I may have a solution that will offer a perfect looking rec manual. It will mean a whole new redisign - but its possible :yep:.
Must get my copy of it out and take a look :D.

REQUEST:
If anyone has the Weyers Taschenbuch der Kriegsflotten Manual.
Can you see if you can find the current SH5 ships within it and post a list of the pages those SH5 versions appear on.
That will give me a good start to redoing the Manual.

For that job, you will need the 43/44 version since most of the ships were made during the war. I managed to find Nelson in the 36 version. I have to say it is modelled accurately.

What you can do is use the ingame dds files and add some kind of sketch filter in photoshop. That way it will look like the ones in the book.

Was trying that, but stock filter's in Photoshop didn't give very good results. Might look if there's any good plugins that may yield better results.

Also links in that post are down :wah:. Need to find the 44 edition I guess - if avaiable.

I've made a new more accurate 1 degree bearing mod. It is really simple and it works in scopes, UZO and bins.

Will include it in my Ui if ok :up:.


As for the 43-45 Weyers Taschenbuch der Kriegsflotten Manual, I've placed an order from a german book store (Didn't get a payment screen though so not sure if its just pre-book order).
So if anyone could send me scans of the (SH5 ships) from the manual that would be great.
If not I'll just continue with the Rec Manual as is and redo it when I get a copy myself.

[reaper7]

Been messing about in Photoshop, and after a lot of retries I've found a combo of filters etc to get a look i'm happy with :D.

Here's a sample of them so far less the Ship values that have to be added. :03:

http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff240/reaper7_bucket/Ships.jpg

[Tarnsman]

I love the Ui and its my preference for SH5

But, I question some of the crew command assignments.

It seems that maneuvering and decoy commands currently assigned to the Motorman, should be assigned to the XO or the Engineer. The power management: silent running and battery charge should go to the Motorman. And the periscope and snorkel commands should go to the Captain.

[reaper7]

Got the new correct ship values added now :D

Cheers Mate, I re-created one yesterday at a higher resolution. Will see which gives the best results in game ;).
Thanks for permission if yours looks best will incorporate it :up:.

Also after finding some obs optics info yesterday on the FOV for horizontal and vertical fields, also on correct degree spacing for vertical ticks.
I've reworked my obs scope and obs graticules files to get 100% percission on those files. (Even though they were about 95% accurate).

On a side note my order for the reprint of the Recognition Manual went through, so When I get that I'll see about recreating an in-game version. :yep:

[Tarnsman]

How do you call up the recognition manual in v2.2?
When I try to open it it just says "yes sir" but no data?

You need to lock up a ship to use.

Just received my copy of the 'Weyers Taschenbuch Der Kriegs-Flotten 1943.44' 1996 reprint Edition :).

[Tarnsman]

It works in Auto but not manual? Because I locked up the target both times (green button on the lower right of the scope), but only got the manual when in auto targeting. So there is no way to bring it up in manual mode?

It shoulb be available in both Man/Auto Mode - Current mod just disables the selection of automode via the manual.
Sounds like somethings not working.
Best bet is to reinstall in port. O

Cheers, will doublecheck the ID's for the Tri-Ring in the Dials.cfg. May have changed and not been updated.

Notice that your not displaying the correct amount of items for that page, may be a mod conflict.
You should have icons for the stopwatch and the clock ath the bottom of the page and the Officer Orders Icon at the Top Right.
Also the TAI maptools should not be visible when TAI is Closed.

There may be an issue with your Install, that may be causing the Tri-ring malfunction possibly - will check my end just in case.

Hi SashaKA001, you need to Turn On The TDC to Manual - Its the Button on the Left TDC Panel in the bottom right of the panel.

nice work on that again, THX :yeah:

1. but why the hell is the white casual idiot gamer`s crosshair enabled ?:D :arrgh!:
...cant get my hands on "remove crosshair mod" ...download is down.

2. another thing, i like beeing able hiding all those icons, but if using this with MCCD and using a mccd command some icons pop in again and i have to rehide. Slide in icons or autohide its called in SH5 would also a nice addition.

Never even noticed the crosshair was back - That what happens when you start from scratch again :D. Will remove it :up:.

What is mccd ? Haven't tried my mod with others so not sure about issues. Which Icons are you refering to. I have some on the main page that can be hidden, I could use that same button to hide everything maybe? :yep:

MCCD = More crew commands (very important)

...ohh at first all is hidden, thats ok

but if i click on a MCCD crew dialog command, some of the hidden icons pop in back :-?

but maybe, if you use some kind of autohide function like TDW did (slide in menue elements if you mouse over them, autohiding with delay if moving the mouse away), the problem above will maybe also solved.

Is the Strategic Map compatible with the new UI?

It overwrites my smaller Maptools in the Navigation Map with the Default larger ones. Other than that yes its compatiable.
I've let Obelix know about it, so he should have a nev version out soon. :03:

good thing with that red light switch, is it possible to have also the recognition manual darkened then ?
